Last year, Bruce Springsteen joined his old pal Joe Grushecky, on stage for two raucous evenings of rock n’roll at Pittsburgh’s Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, a gorgeous old building in the city’s Oakland section.

The raucous shows featured opening acoustic sets by Springsteen, followed by two hours of blazing, inspired rock and roll, with Springsteen and Grushecky frequently trading vocals on songs from both Joe’s and Bruce’s catalogs.

Springsteen, who played in Asbury Park with Grushecky and the Houserockers at January’s Light of Day concert at the Paramount Theatre, will be joining Grushecky again in Pittsburgh, for two shows on Nov. 3 and 4 this year. The shows will start at 7:30 p.m. and “The Composure” will open each show.

Tickets for the shows will be priced at $75 and $125 and will go onsale at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18 at all Ticketmaster outlets, online at www.ticketmaster.com and through Ticketmaster phone charge at 1-800-745-3000. There is a four-ticket limit per person.
